This week I take you behind the scenes at the Magazine Street conference.
(You may remember my interview with Nikki Simpson, organiser of Magazine Street, back in Episode 75.)
I share my top takeaways from a few of the many brilliant speakers who shared their stories of creativity, resilience and problem-solving – relevant to all freelancers, not just those in the magazine industry.
- A cocktail-loving couple who demonstrated the power of listening to your audience
- A brand new magazine creator with a simple idea that's already inspiring others
- A remarkable turnaround story that goes from Dragons Den rejection to international title and the lessons learned along the way
- How a mountain biking community defeated a website hacker
- How understanding your audience can help you grow your reach
- What we can learn about writing from producing news reports for 9-year-olds.
Vox-pop quotes from other attendees and speakers will be included in the 15 Minute Freelancer newsletter: 15minutefreelancer.substack.com
